Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 502 August [-]th

Of course, there is a price for such a pleasant day. When the first batch of mooncakes was taken out of the oven with a black face because they did not control the temperature properly, the couple’s skin that was exposed outside their clothes was the same color as the mooncakes. .

Men are okay, their skin is darker and they look stronger, but women are a bit tragic.

Chu Qixi sat at the door of the baking shed and sighed, she didn't know whether it was a pity for the plate of mush mooncakes, or she was worried about her Baogong face.

Danggui and the others couldn't help laughing, and coughed twice while busy.

Ding Wei couldn't see Chu Qixi's appearance, so she walked up to her and pinched her face, then said with a smile, "Don't sigh, it's not too tanned. There is no shortage of pearls on the island, so look for some that are not in good shape. Grind it into powder and apply it on the face, and it will return to nothing within half a month.”

"Really?" Chu Qixi was so happy that she jumped up and hugged Ding Wei's neck, shouting, "Oh, sister, give me some of your pearls."

Women are born to love beauty, the sun on the island is blazing, and the angelicas are also consciously dark.Hearing this, everyone gathered together with a smile on their face, even Yunying and Mrs. Dong were among them.

Ding Wei patted her forehead, made a look of remorse, and said angrily, "What are you doing telling you this method, it will waste a few buckets of pearls!"

Everyone laughed, and a few craftsmen passing by were very curious. They wanted to probe into the shed, but they were frightened by the staring of Sister Lin who rushed over and ran away with a dry smile.

There are many people and strength, the same filling and the same mold, but after a few times to test the heat of several ovens, when the sun is about to set on the western mountain, the golden mooncakes are finally out of the oven.

A group of children who were picking seashells or cutting kelp outside, and even helping to make some groceries in the workshop came back.

Perhaps the fragrance was too sweet and alluring, even though the parents had told them many times, they still lingered at the door, refusing to leave.Occasionally raising his head to take a few breaths of the aroma in the air, his little face is full of longing.

Ding Wei saw it by chance, and hurriedly asked Angelica to pack a basket and send it out. Each child had a piece of mooncake, and they had a fresh taste first.

The children got the moon cakes and ran back madly, making sure their parents and grandparents had eaten them before carefully taking a small bite.

Children have always been the heart and soul of parents. Seeing that the master treats his children so lovingly, both women and craftsmen are very grateful.The craftsmen asked if there was enough firewood in the baking shed, and the women leaned over to help.

After seven or eight days like this, another shed has been built next to the baking shed for moon cakes, and there are people on duty at night, so as not to spoil such a good food by insects and rats.

Seeing that it was already the twelfth day of the eighth month, Mrs. Dong was not busy in the kitchen or taking care of the children early this morning, so she came to the main room to talk to Ding Wei.

Danggui and the others were very winking, found an excuse and went down to get busy, leaving the aunt and sister-in-law to talk about themselves.

Although the root cause of Ding Wei's illness during confinement was not too much suffering, Angelica and the others have always obeyed Mr. Wei's orders and continued to take supplements every day.

The effect of this tonic is still unknown, but the taste is unspeakably bitter.

When Mrs. Dong came over, the medicine bowl was still steaming. Now Ding Wei picked it up and drank it in one gulp. She frowned so bitterly.

Mrs. Dong hurriedly pushed the candied fruit on the side plate, and Ding Wei picked up a candied date and stuffed it into her mouth, and it took a long time to recover, "I sometimes suspect that my master prescribed this medicine just to cure the disease. I, it is really too bitter!"

Dong looked amused, and said, "Sister, don't say that. Although I haven't met twice, Mr. Wei is a nice guy."

Ding Wei pouted, as if she didn't refute her sister-in-law's words.

"Where's my second brother, went to the woodworking workshop again?"

"That's right, the master has found something he likes to do, and he can't wait to eat and live in the workshop all day long."

Dong seems to be complaining, but there is a smile on his face, which shows that the couple get along very well.

Ding Wei sighed with relief, "That's good, only my second brother and I are left at home, I always hope that he will not be troubled by me, and life will be peaceful and peaceful."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, you are all from your own family." Dong followed the words and said, "Tomorrow is the birthday of parents and mothers. What are your plans, sister? If you have a job, you must call me."

"Of course, sister-in-law, you are now the mistress of the Ding family, and such important events as the memorial day can't get around you. What's more, I'm also a married girl, and I always have a different surname. It's justified for my sister-in-law Zhang Luo to change my name. I'll just make sacrifices."

Ding Wei was very happy that her sister-in-law was filial and virtuous, and her elder brother was too busy to forget, but fortunately, the young sister-in-law remembered so clearly, which showed that she really regarded herself as a member of the Ding family.

Dong thought about it for a while, but didn't refuse, "Well, I'll take care of this matter."

"My sister-in-law is in charge of her own work. Whatever food is used, just ask Angelica to get it for you."

"Okay, I heard that there is a craftsman on the island who learned how to make paper figures and horses in Quanzhou. Why don't you find him for a day and send some things to your parents."

"Success, sister-in-law has the final say."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law discussed for a long time, and they settled down on tomorrow's trivial matters.

Mrs. Dong got up to leave, thought for a while and said, "Sister, when Mr. Fang and the others go back, I want to bring something to my mother's family. My father's 40th birthday, I will not be around as the eldest daughter..."

"Sister-in-law," Ding Wei took her hand and instructed, "filial piety to parents is a matter of course. As long as it doesn't hurt the family, sister-in-law even moves the whole island. I agree. There are more than a dozen buckets of pearls in the warehouse. Pick the big ones for two buckets. The few gold and silver masters who came with the ship this time also make good jewelry, choose a few good glass gemstones, inlay a few sets of jewelry and send them back..."

"Oh, no." Mrs. Dong's eyes widened when she heard that, she was delighted by the girl's generosity, but also panicked, "These things are too expensive, and I have some savings in my hands, so I can't ask for your things."

Ding Wei ignored it, and made up her mind to vent her anger on her sister-in-law.Dabao and Fu'er are already seven or eight years old, and they can remember everything clearly. When they got along in private, they often talked about how those top relatives of the Dong family made trouble for the Dong family.

She was never too early for revenge.

Mrs. Dong wanted to persuade her again, but Ding Wei pushed her out, "Sister-in-law, go and do your work quickly, I will change my clothes and prepare the sacrificial food."

Dong had no choice but to leave.

Ding Wei picked up a pen and paper and wrote and drew for a long time. When her hands were sore from exhaustion, Danggui returned with a flushed face.Needless to say, he must have met Chu Laosan again.

Ding Wei sighed secretly, it seems that she should be looking for a few little girls by her side, otherwise the big girls are all married, and she will have no helpers by her side.

Of course, this is all for later, so there is no need to worry about it right now.

"Send these blueprints to the gold and silver workshop and tell those gold and silver masters. If you don't understand something, I will explain it to them together sometime in the future."

"Yes, master." Dang Gui had sharp eyes, and when she took it, she looked at the sketch of a bracelet on the top. On the bracelet with the thickness of her little finger, the secret mother was inlaid with small glass gemstones, and at the joints were two small fish. The fish eyes are big and round, looking delicate and funny, very cute.

"Oh, master, this bracelet..."

"Why, you like it too." Ding Wei smiled, "When you marry General Chu, I will give you a pair of mandarin ducks as a dowry."

"Oh, master, you are here again."

Dang Gui's face turned even redder, and she ran away with the blueprint.

On August [-]th, there are still two days left before the [-]th Reunion Festival, but the festive atmosphere on the island is already very strong.

Not to mention slaughtering pigs and sheep, moon cakes have also been distributed to every household.

But this day when they got up early, everyone spontaneously wore plain clothes. There was no other reason. The host's family was paying homage to their parents and elder brothers who were killed by villains last year.

Because the Ding family's cemetery is still in the Zhuangzi outside the capital, Ding Wei and the Dong family can only set up a few cases by the seaside for the family's ranking.A three-legged copper censer was placed in front of the tablet, and incense was burned in the furnace.Under the table are a wide variety of sacrifices and fresh fruits.

Ding Laoer brought Dabao to kneel down, Ding Wei and Dong Shi brought Fuer Yuer, and Mrs. Bai and Sister-in-law Zhao hugged Brother Yueer Qinger, Mrs. Cheng and Danggui all stood on one side and bowed their heads. salute.

Whether it is patriarchal or how to accuse traditional feudalism, but no matter what, males are an important cornerstone of a family's inheritance.Without a male, the incense of a family will be cut off.

Even if Ding Wei's status is noble, no matter how filial she is to her parents, as long as she gets married, she is a person with a foreign surname.Seriously speaking, it is not as important as Dong's Tong Fu'er and Yu'er.

Ding Wei thought of the happy days in the past, and the voices and smiles of her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were still in front of her eyes, so tears fell down.

Dang Gui and others wanted to go forward to persuade her, but was stopped by Mrs. Cheng.

"Master's heart is bitter, and it's not easy to shed tears on weekdays. It's better to take advantage of this opportunity and cry for a while, so as not to cause trouble in your heart."

After all, she was older than the girls, and her words were reasonable, so the girls agreed.

Soon, the worship will be over.Fang Xin's family, who were also dressed in plain clothes, also stood by. Fang Xin went up to burn incense and salute.

The craftsmen in the distance also saluted together. Ding Laoer scattered the ashes of paper figurines, pavilions and gold and silver ingots in the copper basin to the sea, hoping that the sea would bring them to his family in the nine heavens.

At this time, the woman with a young child in the family stepped forward a little cautiously and waited for the host to distribute the sacrificial food.

According to the rules passed down from the ancestors, children will not easily provoke unclean things after eating sacrificial food.Especially the steamed buns with red dots on the top are the most effective.

Mrs. Dong took enough steamed buns according to the number of children in the family, and distributed the rest to the women.The women accepted the steamed buns gratefully, and then retreated.

Seeing that the tablets of her parents were about to be taken down, Ding Wei still couldn't stop her tears.Mrs. Dong wanted to comfort her, but someone suddenly pointed at the sea and shouted, "There is a boat coming!"

I don't know if there is a kind of telepathy between mother and child.Ding Wei suddenly raised her head when she heard the sound, and ran to the beach, "Ange must be back!"

When everyone heard the words, whether they believed it or not, they all ran over.

The craftsmen also heard that the eldest son of the master's family was kidnapped and taken away by others, but he has not been found yet, so they also gathered at the seaside curiously.
